Driving home late one night, Phryne Fisher is surprised when someone shoots out her windscreen.
Then when someone kidnaps her cherished companion, Dot, Phryne will stop at nothing to retrieve her..
But she doesn\'t yet know how deeply into the mire she\'ll have to go: bank robbery, tattoo parlours, pubs, spiritualist halls, and Anarchists.
Enraged by the loss of the clothing, the damage to her car, and this senseless waste of human life, Phryne promises to find out who is responsible.
He bleeds to Death in her arms...and all over her silk shirt.
She alights to finds a pretty young man with an anarchist tattoo dying on the tarmac just outside the Dock gates.
